Warming’s Terrifying New Math”, McKibben argues that climate change is a deadly problem humans are facing and therefore it is important we must recognize who the real enemy it and that the only way to fight the warming of the planet is by building a movement against them. McKibben, by presenting three numbers in the article (two degrees celsius, 565 gigatons and 2,795 gigatons) is making people more aware of the serious dangers climate change is posing on them, as well as shedding a new light on the fossil

McKibben, Bill. 2012 July, Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math. In “Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math”, Bill McKibben argues that fossil fuel companies are the real enemy when it comes to the three simple numbers. These three simple numbers consist of: 2℃, 565 gigatons, and 2,795 gigatons. The benchmark global temperature that should not nearly reach or passed is 2℃. In order to remain under 2℃, global emissions must decrease, but when this article was written in 2012, there had been an increase

good and bad, is widespread, who is responsible for the harm done by these corporations? Some blame the corporations, others blame voters. Let’s look at someone that blames corporations, Bill McKibben, in his article Global Warming’s Terrifying New Math, argues that fossil fuel corporations are the number one public enemy.

become well informed on current and historical events by watching television. Television shows such as “The Daily Show” relate news worthy information to viewers through comedy. Many people watch comedy news as their only way to get informed about the current events that are happening. Sadly, comedy news does not take relating the news to their viewers very seriously. Comedy news shows fail to successfully inform their viewers, change people's perspective on important topics, and fail to report many current

this day in age by refreshing their laptops, cell phones, and tablets in fear of missing out on breaking news. Breaking news has become a term to describe any sudden attention-grabbing event from a celebrity scandal; to our 45th president tweeting made up words like “covfefe”. This immediate news-seeking era has become a flaw towards people trust with knowing the credibility of live news. News broadcasting manipulates the public into thinking that biased claims are credible sources through Television

Figures. The math in Hidden Figures represented the actual math that NASA faced during the space race. The movie was surprisingly accurate in its literal use of math and how it was solved to send astronauts to space. The other role of math in Hidden Figures was its use as a leveling factor during a time of rampant segregation. The ones seen as most unqualified in a time of deep segregation against African Americans and women were the ones who were the most qualified to solve the math used in the movie;

The decision for me to move to New Zealand was made so that I could be provided with greater and higher education opportunities that my home country was not able to offer. I found the Western way of education to be freer and thought provocative whereas the Korean way of education was very rote with limited freedom. Having studied in New Zealand for a period of time, I was able to incorporate both the Western and Asian ways of learning whenever solving problems. To this day, I believe it was my ability

(Torres, 2014) Fig. 1. Example of a simple math equation (Torres, 2014). I understand that teachers may use the second method to help students learn how to solve a problem. But I am not fine with a teacher marking a student for not doing it the long way. I feel as if a student knows how to do 7 + 7 by adding it using his style and it was faster their way, that a teacher should not mark the student for not doing it the long and annoying way. My Favorite math problem from common core is when they took

It should be based on simplicity. The following are several examples of the New Castle brand and general marketing messages to back the brand. The town must stand out from the rest, show it is exceptional, be memorable, and evoke emotions - get people to say “oh my gosh, I want that.” These examples are only meant to stimulate discussion and help define a new marketing direction based the brand direction described herein. Should the Town be committed to the “authentic” label it will need to define

amazingly with numbers. She attended high school by the age of thirteen, and even graduated college at the age of nineteen. After school, she pursued a career in teaching, until she got a job offer for NASA. Once Katherine and her family moved for her new job, Katherine began working on the orbital mission of John Glenn. Katherine’s accomplishments were already incredible, but were even more due to the fact that she went against the restraints of society, as being apart of NASA as an African American

I do not like when people disrespect me for something so small as me not be the best at basketball or being the kid who doesn't have the new haircut. People like a YouTuber, he decided to document a bead body in suicide forest in Japan. He got tons of disrespect even after he made an apology. Even though what he did was wrong he realized his mistake and apologized but people still disrespected

While reading pages 104 and 105, I thought of a prediction. I predict that Pop will transfer his daughter, Déja, to a different school. I expect this to happen because Déja’s father strongly disapproves of the curriculum that she is learning in her school. Déja and about 20 of her classmates are learning about a topic that Pop believes is very sensitive; a terror attack that happened exactly 15 years ago, on September 11, 2001. He was inside the World Trade Center while it was under attack. With

Gender stereotyping, something we all know about, is the over-generalizations about the characteristics of an entire group or group of people based on gender. We all know many people, or that one person, who doesn't fit their gender stereotype. Whether it's having short or long hair or painted finger nails, the only thing that makes us female or male is the chromosomes that make us who we are. Our gender defining genetic composition. People think the way someone dresses or the way they speak or even

clearer image of my future career options through the course I am currently taking. My choice of taking BS Applied Math with specialization in Mathematical Finance as my college degree gave me opportunities not only to relatively excel in academics, but also opened new doors for me to serve in my home organization, the Ateneo Mathematics Society (AMS) and participate in several math and finance-related extra-curricular activities such as competitions and teaching or tutoring

1. Quotation: “And in the Bible it says Thou shalt not kill but there were the Crusades and two world wars and the Gulf War and there were Christians killing people in all of them.” (pg. 29) Response: I like the characters thought in this quote because it shows a different view of how people break rules but don’t realize that there actually breaking them. 2.

The first glimpse I had of the city of New Orleans was from literature. I remember sitting down with my mother at our nightly story time and hearing about a place filled with culture and tradition. The city seemed almost fantastic to me. When I learned about Tulane University, this mythical city became a reality. This was a place of discovery, opportunity, and above all, a place filled with endless stories waiting to be told. The English Department of Tulane would give me the opportunity to

As Christians, it’s our responsibility to share the good news that we have received. At my home church, we believe that we are called to be disciples, and make disciples. This has been my motivation to seek further education and to acquire the necessary knowledge to better make disciples. In my early life I was given a bitter taste of Christianity, and I later realized that what I had experienced wasn’t the true love of Jesus. Once that became clear, I began to do everything I could to share the
